Management Commentary

Trading performance for Q2 2024 resulted in an EBITDA of £147.9m, which was £32.3m/27.9% ahead of Q2 2023. This movement is largely due to the acquisition of 337 Morrisons PFS which was successfully completed on the 29th April
for £2.5bn. In addition to the PFS network, MFG also acquired a land bank on Morrisons carparks to be developed into EV and Valet Development Areas.

Q2's underlying trading represented a continuation of the strong start to 2024. Sales volumes were l,142mL which is up 57.4% vs Q2 2023. This increase was predominantly driven by the acquisition of Morrisons PFS - slightly offset by
the divestment of 30 sites in 2023 as enforced by the CMA. The fuel margin fell to 11.48ppl compared to 13.14ppl in 2023, margins in the same quarter in 2023 were unusually high during a volatile period for product costs. The fall in
margin compared to Q2 2023 reflects both the higher margins experienced in the prior year as well as the acquisition of the Morrison's forecourts, which have a different pricing structure to the core business as they compete in the
hyper-market space. The margin for the core MFG business in Q2 was 12.56ppl and volumes were 729.5mL, which represents solid trading year on year.

The non-fuel element of the business continues to perform strongly, up 19% vs Q2 2023, driven by strong Food To Go (FTG), Shop Facility Fees and a robust Valeting performance on the core estate, reflecting the significant investment
MFG has made in its operations in recent years. Year on year EV performance continues to grow due to the ongoing and substantial investment into this business segment.

Site expenses have increased on a LFL basis, driven by substantially higher electricity costs YoY and greater site maintenance costs. Exceptional costs are predominantly acquisition (Morrisons) and financing related.

The 2024 development programme is progressing well with 15 sites open to date (14 FTG concessions) including the first Wrights FTG concession, MFG is currently onsite at a further ten sites as part of its ongoing 2024 program.

During the quarter MFG successfully launched a HY Bond. Financing closed and priced with £400m being raised at a rate of 8.625%. £75m of the RCF was repaid in June 2024. Also during June a repricing exercise was successfully
undertaken on a portion of the debt, the offering was fully subscribed and the exercise reduced the annual interest bill by c. film.

Net operating cashflow saw an inflow of £62m in the quarter, driven by strong EBITDA performance, positive movement in working capital of £56.5m, £497m of parent group investment (£650m net of buyback of minority
shareholdings) and £1.6bn of acquisition financing. This was offset by the Morrison's acquisition with (£2,066.5m) of M&A, (£33.4m) Capital Expenditure, interest payments of (£52.4m) and (£55m) of exceptional costs predominantly
relating to the Morrison's acquisition.
